Bone And Joint Disorders Of The Foot And Ankle

This open access book focuses on imaging of the musculoskeletal diseases. Over the last few years, there have been considerable advances in this area, driven by clinical as well as technological developments. The authors are all internationally renowned experts in their field. They are also excellent teachers, and provide didactically outstanding chapters. The book is disease-oriented and covers all relevant imaging modalities, with particular emphasis on magnetic resonance imaging. Important aspects of pediatric imaging are also included. IDKD books are completely re-written every four years. As a result, they offer a comprehensive review of the state of the art in imaging. The book is clearly structured with learning objectives, abstracts, subheadings, tables and take-home points, supported by design elements to help readers easily navigate through the text. As an IDKD book, it is particularly valuable for general radiologists, radiology residents, and interventional radiologists who want to update their diagnostic knowledge, and for clinicians interested in imaging as it relates to their specialty.

This book offers an updated guide to the foot and ankle, and presents them at different ages, which will allow the reader to analyze and understand how the foot develops from the early stages to adulthood. It provides a general overview of the anatomy, biomechanics, diagnosis, surgical approaches, treatment alternatives, and complications in connection with pediatric and adult foot and ankle problems, gathering in-depth information on frequent pathologies in a single source. Written by world-renowned experts, the book offers various points of view on the topics discussed. This comparative approach is generally lacking in foot and ankle literature, an oversight that the book addresses. The content consists of 59 chapters, divided into the following major sections: Basic sciences and general considerations, Pediatric orthopedics and traumatology, Adult orthopedics and Adult sports lesions and traumatology. Foot and Ankle Disorders: A Comprehensive Approach in Pediatric and Adult Populations will be of major interest for orthopedic surgery residents, for orthopedic surgeons who are starting their careers, and for experienced ones seeking updated information on the foot and ankle.

This book, specifically designed to be of value in clinical practice, is an up-to-date, case-oriented reference on the various foot and ankle disorders that is presented in the style of a teaching file, with a wealth of informative illustrations. The text is concise and informative, providing a general overview of each disorder, identifying key points for correct diagnosis and differential diagnosis, and highlighting tips and pitfalls in conservative and operative treatment. The most important feature, however, is the depiction of representative cases by means of detailed, high-quality color photographs that will acquaint the reader with the key appearances relevant to diagnosis and treatment. Foot and Ankle Disorders will serve as a user-friendly source of information for all who deal with these conditions. It will be especially valuable for those with a keen interest in treatment algorithms, surgical techniques, and prevention of surgical complications.​

This text, aimed at students and practicing chiropodists, describes the conservative and surgical management of foot disorders in children. Special emphasis is placed on paediatric examination, diagnostic imaging, trauma management, congenital deformities, and foot/ankle trauma.

Drs. Guhl, Parisien and Boynton, pioneers in the development of modern arthroscopic techniques have invited a prestigious group of contributors to prepare the third edition of Foot and Ankle Arthroscopy. This comprehensive work will address the most recent and valuable developments in foot and ankle arthroscopy and will be a valuable resource for orthopaedic surgeons, general orthopaedists, sports medicine practitioners and podiatrists. Target group: orthopaedic surgeons, sports medicine practitioners, podiatrists

This text/atlas of radiography introduces the scope of diagnostic radiology applicable to podiatric medicine, including normal and pathological presentations of the foot and ankle. It covers the principles of radiographic interpretation, normal and variant radiographic anatomy and development of the foot and ankle, systematic evaluation of bone and joint disorders, as well as bone and joint abnormalities. The second edition will include MRI and CT imaging as well as a chapter on musculoskeletal ultrasound. It demonstrates how to systematically analyze a radiograph and identify conditions that are intrinsic to the foot or that represent manifestations of extrinsic disease.
